Bastian leads pack for NHL draft

Kitchener's Nathan Bastian leads a trio of Waterloo Region players expected to go in the opening rounds of this year's draft.

The Mississauga Steelheads winger is ranked 19th by the NHL's Central Scouting Services. Windsor defenceman Logan Stanley and Soo forward Boris Katchouk - both of Waterloo - are 23rd and 32nd respectively, among North American skaters.

I'm not sure if the draft has ever been so top heavy with local prospects.
